had in reuerence so ferforth as they put vs in minde of gods worde and of the ensample of them that liued therafter and no further.

And the place is to be sought and one to be preferred before a nother for quietnesse to praye and for liuely preachynge and for the preachynge of soch monumentes and so furth. And so longe as the people so vsed them in the olde testament / they were acceptable and plesaunt to god and god was saide to dwell in the temple. But when the significacions beinge lost / the people worsheped soch thynges for the thinges selues / as we now doo / they were abhominable to god and god was saide to be no lenger in the temple.

And in the .iiij. he saith / that god setteth moare by one place then a nother. Which doctrine besydes that it shuld bynde vs vn to the place and god therto and can not but make vs haue confidence in the place / is yet false. For first god vn to whose worde we maye adde . nought / hath geuen no soch commaundement ner made any soch couenaunte. Nether is Christ here or there saith the scripture / but in oure hertes is the place where god dwelleth by his awne testimonie if his word be there.

And when he proueth it / because god doeth a miracle moare in one place then in a nother I answere / if god wyll doo a miracle / it requireth a place to be done in. How be it he doeth it not for the place but for the peoples sakes whom he wold call vn to the knowlege of his name / and not to worshepinge him moare in one place then in a nother.
